Speedboat Ordered Off Bluestone Lake After Fast Run
Sunshine and warm weather drew boaters to Bluestone Reservoir where two speedboat fans in a scooter type craft with a 50 horsepower motor were ordered off by the lake engineer for excessive speed. A state game warden carried a pistol on his hip as a visible presence on the pier. The horsepower cap of six remains lifted but an eight mile per hour speed limit stays in force. Race practice may occur on a restricted course for a week before events.
